First we replace the variable x by x^2 in a family of weight functions given by Askey in 1989 and we show that the recurrence coefficients of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials can be expressed in terms of a solution of the q-discrete Painlev\\'e III equation. Next we consider the q-Laguerre or generalized Stieltjes-Wigert weight functions with a quadratic transformation and derive recursive equations for the recurrence coefficients of the orthogonal polynomials. These turn out to be related to the q-discrete Painlev\\'e V equation. Finally we also consider the little q-Laguerre weight with a quadratic transformation and show that the recurrence coefficients of the orthogonal polynomials are again related to q-discrete Painlev\\'e V.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-06-30T14:42:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C45", "33E17", "42C05", "65Q30" ], "keywords": [ "recurrence coefficients", "q-laguerre polynomials", "q-discrete painleve", "variations", "quadratic transformation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.3960B" } } }
